[quote]An explanation is an explanation. [/quote] I agree that an explanation is an explanation, but you didn’t provide an explanation. Rather, you offered an assertion. At no point in time do you actually [b]demonstrate[/b] that 1) enhancements to the VA’s ability to process claims and 2) leas...

[quote]I did that. More than once. I even cited a portion of the bill, which you then claimed I had not done. More than once.[/quote] 1. You didn’t explain anything. Rather, you merely asserted something as being true. 2. Incorrect. I didn’t say that you never cited a portion of the bill. ...

[quote]You made the assertion. You provided nothing to indicate you know what you're talking about. That's your problem, not mine. [/quote] [b]You[/b] made the assertion. I repeatedly challenged the soundness and relevance of your claim, and I borrowed from your assertion merely to make a rheto...

[quote]You should have stopped right here. [/quote] No. [quote]So you should be quiet or at least be honest enough to admit that you don't know what you're talking about.[/quote] I know what I’m talking about though. Do you? Sure, you claim to know the VA, but you’ve done nothing more...

[quote]knowledge or experience =/= understanding[/quote] Yet again, I’ll note that nothing in my comment suggests that I lack knowledge, experience, or understanding of the VA and/or its processes. But even if we were to assume that it is, such a condition would have no bearing on the topic at h...

[quote]Not sure I'd interpret that as anything other than "very little experience." If you had something more useful, you'd have offered it up by now. I think the best part, to bring this full circle, is someone who posted this...[/quote] I am indeed working with the VA on obtaining a disabilit...

[quote]You've repeatedly tried to frame your lack of knowledge as irrelevant. It isn't. [/quote] To suppose that I lack knowledge in something merely because I’ve tried to discuss the bill is to fallaciously affirm the consequent. [quote]You've repeatedly tried to frame your lack of knowledge ...

[quote]This is weak. I didn't personally attack you. I commented on your behavior.[/quote] 1. Devoting much of your rebuttal to insisting that I supposedly lack of knowledge on a particular topic rather than discussing the topic itself is a personal attack. 2. Insisting that my rebuttal is lik...

[quote]It was quoted for a reason. That's your perception of what's happening. Like a toddler disagreeing with their pediatrician. [/quote] Sure, okay. Anyway, about what the bill says… [quote]That's an "I don't care." Was that not clear when I led off with "I don't care?" [/quote] I’m ...

[quote]The problem with this thought is that you're trying to play "no you" as if we're on equal ground. We aren't. [/quote] No. I’m suggesting that we not play this game at all and instead focus on the bill. [quote]I'm not questioning your copy/paste abilities. I'm calling out your analy...
